Snapshot: October 1 2014

I generally run this information through eReaderIQ.com (it’s just easier than Amazon), and there are some vagaries in the searches (both there and on Amazon). I do try to run it the same way every time, so unless Amazon changes something, it should give you a pretty good idea. NOTE: I’ve changed this explanation from saying “Jungle-Search.com” to “eReaderIQ.com”. It’s the same people and I assume the results are the same. eReaderIQ is just for the Kindle, Jungle-Search does Amazon generally. eReaderIQ has a slightly better interface for the searches.

* There was also an enhanced audio/visual version of this book for $16.99. I chose to enter it here only in the standard version, since that most closely represents the comparison between paper and e-book versions. It isn’t necessary to pay $16.99: it’s an additional payment for more features

April 1, 2010 was “Agency Day”, when the pricing system for some of the largest trade publishers in the US changed. I’ve started tracking price points, to see how that is affecting things. These are not ranges: it’s how many books are at a specific price point.

Summary

Unless there was some problem with the search results, the most dramatic thing to me is the drop in the number of books in the Kindle Matchbook program: a 39% drop, nearly 30,000 fewer titles. That’s the one that lets you buy an e-book at a reduced price if you have bought the p-book (paperbook) from Amazon. My guess is that it’s a mistake of some kind, but if not, publishers may have decided the program isn’t worth it. Another possibility is that fewer indie (independent) books are giving a paper option, but I doubt that’s it. Outside of that, NYT bestseller hardback fiction equivalents were down close to fifty cents, which is nice to see. The average number of books added to the store per day was up considerably. We should get to three million titles in the USA Kindle store before the end of the year. Price trends overall were pretty good. The number of books in Kindle Unlimited was up (a similar trend to last month).

The free books referenced here are from the Kindle store: there are many other sources for free books

My search for textbooks definitely has false positives (books that aren’t really textbooks). I search for -domain (to eliminate public domain titles, which would be older books, generally) textbook. That would find a book about textbooks, for example

I searched for “Spanish edition” to find Spanish language books. That has some false positives as well

I look at price percentages of books in the range of one penny to fifty dollars, to eliminate freebies and limit textbooks

The price point analysis is for books at that specific price: it does not represent a range of prices

I compared the percentage of price points in the Price Point Analysis when I showed the difference…not the number of books

Sorry, where are you seeing the black background? I thought you might mean in the blog (and you might), but I just checked it on our Kindle Paperwhite 2, and it was fine. If it is the blog, what device/application are you using to read it?

Some devices have a setting which lets you read white on black, which I do like…

I’ve noticed they now have a ‘Spanish eBooks’ link off of the main Kindle Store page. If you go there, it claims ‘más de 100,000 ebooks en Español’, but when I clicked on the link, it only returned 52400 results.

BTW, I think you could do some very cool charts with Plotly, http://plot.ly. I’ve just started playing around with it myself.

I’m curious as to the nature of the discrepancy between the ‘totals’. After all it is publishers who put ‘Spanish Edition’ in their titles. I’m pretty sure they are required to specify language as a specific piece of metadata as well. But Advanced Search doesn’t give us access to the latter.

And if you browse the ‘Spanish eBooks’, you will notice that a number of them do not have ‘Spanish Edition’ in the title (and I would think native readers of Español would not really need or want to see that phrase in their book titles, any more than English readers would want to see ‘edición Inglés’ in theirs). Do these get included in search for ‘Spanish’? If not then the totals may be even higher than your high numbers.

Finally, if you check some of the titles in more detail, some show rank in a category of ‘Libros en español’, but if you search on that, you only come up with 12,500 or so, and some of these do not even show they’re in that category! How confusing.

Amazon needs to hire some librarians or something…

Using ‘spanish edition’ in title search is a bit of a hack, not that there are any alternatives at present.

Just to clarify the last point, I use “Spanish Edition” in the keyword field, not in the title field. I think I did that originally because Amazon didn’t have separate language search parameters the way they do now (for a handful of languages), and then I kept it that way for consistency…at least, that’s what I remember.

Also, I think having it in the keyword field picks up those ones which don’t have it in the title.
